Like I was telling Ron something keeps drawing us back to Forks and the coast. No epic sunset yesterday. 99.9%of yesterdays images I've processed so far have been in B&W. Still its a great place to beat even if you don't get your sunset shots. Little surprised when I woke up in the hotel this morning to a fresh pretty good blanket of snow, but by 8:00am it was just slush left. By the way Ron saw the bridge you tried to build. I was able to get across at the breaker line during low tide. Anyways to the images.
Any CC. Feedback greatly appreciated
Thanks for looking
Ray Still

    #3 is fabulous, Ray. I just love the perspective and the unique feature for the foreground. #1 & 2 have a bit too much contrast for me and kinda give me a headache.

    Beautiful pics! I've been an East Coaster all my life, and am so jealous of the extraordinary beauty of the Pacific coast. :cry

    My fav is #3. The composition, DOF, and b&w tones are captivating.

    I also like #5, for similar reasons to #3, but in color. I also like the sharp details in #6. #1 & 2 are bit contrasty for me. #4 is a bit flat. #7 has a great sky, but too much lost in the dark shadows.

    Glad my little bridge is hanging in there :D

    My favorites are 3, 4, and 5. I like the high contrast B&W conversions.

    I think #4 would work great as a wide angle vertical comp as well with that rock in the foreground.

    One of these days I'll be at the beach when it's overcast and have to try some of this B&W stuff, you and Bryan definitely get some good results with it.
